Thanks, Chris and Thomas!

I'm going to watch AoS 2.19 on hulu, then go see the movie at my local theater's first showing.

(Irritatingly - and as per usual - they forgot to update their movie times listing for the current day/date when closing last night, so I'm not exactly sure when that first show will be . . .)

And . . . of course the movie will be good! Whedon made it! :)

By which I mean "Whedon possessed the control necessary to get the movie made the way he wanted it made."

The only thing I've ever watched of his that was less than excellent was his modern-setting Much Ado About Nothing . . . which really wasn't "his" since he stuck religiously to the original dialogue. As fine as The Bard's words are, Whedon's own dialogue is (at least for me) an indispensible part of what makes his work special.
